A conscience of a doctor between his professional ethics to save the life of a patient and his own love life forms the crux of this handsomely crafted tear-jerker which found a huge fame at its time. The story is pretty familiar, but the way it's executed brings the sweetness raising curiosity till the last minute. Apart few interminable sequences, the camera focuses mainly on the three protagonists of the story, Rajendra Kumar as the doctor who needs to operate upon a critically ill cancer patient played by Raaj Kumar, who happens to be the husband of his former lover, Meena Kumari. It's the performances of all three, and especially Raaj Kumar, which rises the film above an average tear jerker with songs. Overall, I enjoyed the film; and it pretty much represents the era of a fine film making.
